[en] The main objective of this Bachelor's Thesis was to learn the basics of a construction project and how to apply management techniques on its development. The study analyzes the construction of a building on an empty plot, located in the Swedish city of Halmstad. First a preliminary proposal of design is performed and with the corresponding building descriptions and drawings. After that, it is made a survey of everything that is going to be build, survey that will be used later for the calculations of estimate cost and time schedule. The next step of the project is the production planning that will help to perform the projects task on the time allowed. For calculating the probable duration of the works and its development the PERT estimation technique is used. After that, the real data from the construction work is compared with the previsions and planning using the earned value method to check the real evolution of the project. The final part is the work site planning. On this part we are going to describe the organization of the work site during the construction stage.With this we can observe the distribution of facilities and the movement of the materials stocks and working teams during the works.[-]
